Configure a Custom service activity

Use the following procedure to configure a Custom service activity to use it in a business process, case definition custom service, and business rule.

When using a custom service on an Integration Server, you can specify that the custom service node will run on the Integration Server.

  1. Add an activity to the map. See Add an activity.

    By default, the Configuration tab is open in the properties panel of the activity.

  2. Enter a Name for the activity.
  3. On the Type list, click Custom service.
    The custom service groups are listed.
  4. Select a Custom service to associate with the activity.
    Only released custom services are available for use.
    A list of parameters if any, appears under Input and Output.
  5. Optional. Map the input parameters using a dynamic variable (process or server) or static value.
  6. Optional. Map the output parameters using a dynamic variable (process or server).
  7. Configure other properties for this automatic activity, as applicable. See Activity properties and Properties of a custom service.
  8. Save the map.

    • When you create a job on a process that has custom service activity, a single entry is recorded in the job history, and you cannot drill into the custom service when viewing job details.

      If the custom service activity fails to execute, the automatic activity failed exception is raised, if configured.

    • When you generate process documentation for a process with a custom service activity, the activity details display the relevant custom service grouping and name.
